After leaving Mu Qingyan's home, Xu Fan drove straight to the location Zhou Zhanlong had provided.

Perhaps because he had been tricked so badly during the day, for this encounter, Ke Bancheng didn't choose any upscale venues and simply invited people to meet him on the street.

In about half an hour, Xu Fan arrived at the destination.

Looking out through the car window, not far away, the couple Ke Bancheng and a group of Zhou Zhanlong's men had been waiting for a while.

It seemed that my own arrival was a little too late, and the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Ke Bancheng appeared slightly impatient.

"Mr. Ke, sorry to have kept you waiting,"

Getting out of the car and approaching Xiao Lan's group, Xu Fan smiled and greeted Ke Bancheng.

"Young man, it's time to release my son, isn't it?"

Ke Bancheng had been tricked by Xu Fan into losing everything during the noon meal, and he didn't want to waste any more words with Xu Fan this time, but directly got to the point and demanded the person.

"Mr. Ke, rest assured, seeing your sincerity, we naturally won't do anything out of line,"

After giving a perfunctory response, Xu Fan turned to look at Xiao Lan.

"Lan, what's the situation now?"

Having just arrived, Xu Fan didn't know what had happened here, and now he asked, Xiao Lan nodded and explained, "They have already paid the money."

With the money in hand, as for what to do next, Xiao Lan was all ears for Xu Fan's arrangement.

Xu Fan nodded and glanced at Hu Busan and his group.

Hu Busan was always astute and understood what Xu Fan was asking with his glance, so he nodded directly.

There was no ambush around.

"Well, since that's the case, Zhou Zhanlong, let's not block their family reunion,"

From the point of view of the world's code of conduct, it was time to release the person, and when Zhou Zhanlong saw Xu Fan nod, he immediately took out his phone.

After a phone call, it didn't take long for everyone to wait, and at a distance, a Wuling Hongguang came speeding over.

With a drift, this domestic marvel of a car stopped in front of everyone, and upon opening the door, people tied up were shoved out from the car.

This group was exactly the same as the one led by Ke Longxiang who had provoked trouble at the Ye Zui Bar before.

After days of tough environmental reform, it was clear to see, that the originally tender Ke Longxiang "had toughened up" quite a bit, and his gaunt face no longer had that previous arrogant 2B look.

Submissively, now faced with Xu Fan, he didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

"Mr. Ke, look how much your son has changed after spending these days with me! He's no longer rash; he's become both simple and reserved, and much sturdier. Don't you think the money was well spent?"

"..."

Ke Bancheng grimaced, cursing in his heart about the bullsh*t; how much suffering must have been endured to end up looking this wretched…

"Mom, I... I'm hungry..."

After being tormented in such a cruel environment for these days, Ke Bancheng had indeed become much more subdued, and upon finally seeing his family, with tears in his eyes, he lunged towards his mother.

"My child..."

Seeing her son looking so pitiable, Mrs. Ke immediately began to comfort him.

It took a while for Ke Longxiang's emotions to stabilize, and then she let her husband take their son to the car, and her cold gaze then turned toward Xu Fan.

"Xu, for today's enmity, I, Ana Dan, will one day make you pay back tenfold!"

Even if Ke Longxiang was not great, he was still her flesh and blood, and now, being tortured like this, it was no surprise that Ana Dan felt such hatred.

But remembering the text message received at Mu Qingyan's home earlier, Xu Fan couldn't help frowning and looked at her with curiosity.

This woman showed no signs of martial arts training, yet she dared to speak so boldly, probably her confidence all comes from her godmother...

"Hehe..."

Thinking to this point, Xu Fan smiled and then said, "Anadan, sending your son back alive today is already the utmost sincerity from Lingyan Pavilion."

"If you still want to fight to the death with me, I, Xu Fan, won't understand anything about paying back tenfold. When the time comes, I will flatten your Ke Family!"

His tone was abrupt and full of momentum, like a sharp sword thrusting towards Anadan!

It seemed that she had not expected someone of his age to harbor such a force within, and the mother of Ke Longxiang was completely stunned.

It took her a good while to come back to her senses.

"Hmph..."

In Jinling, you're always just a passing dragon. Anadan did not continue to argue, but snorted and turned to get into the car.

Soon, Ke Longxiang and his family drove away, Xiao Lan silently watched the car disappear into the night and walked over to Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, she's nothing but a paper tiger."

Xiao Lan didn't know much about Ke Bancheng's lawful wife, just casually making a comment now.

"No, Sister Lan, this woman is not simple."

Xu Fan shook his head, directly negating Xiao Lan's words.

Seeing the puzzled look from Xiao Lan, he immediately showed her the text message he had received earlier on his phone.

"This..."

After reading the content of the text message, Xiao Lan's face immediately dropped its relaxed expression. She gave Xu Fan a look and asked, "Xu Fan, who is this person?"

"I do not know either."

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "It seems, he's either a friend or an enemy of the Ke Family."

"Her godmother, that, I really haven't heard of..."

She tried hard to recall, but could not think of any related information in her mind. It was not just her, even Zhou Zhanlong and his company were also baffled by it.

"Anadan, how could Ke Longxiang have married a woman from a different ethnicity..."

Shaking his head, Xu Fan could not figure out this baseless matter. He then instructed, "You all take the next steps to find some connections, investigate this woman, and see if you can dig up some clues. Also, look into this phone number for me."

This time, although they had preyed on the Ke Family and pocketed over six hundred million easily, the money felt like a hot potato, not easy to hold onto securely.

Xu Fan did not want to lose his life over carelessness and this bit of money.

...

The next day, Su Shouzi called him.

The pharmaceutical project in collaboration with Xia Group had finally wrapped up. The military was very satisfied with the drugs provided by both parties, and what followed was simply days of collecting money.

The remaining matters still needed to be handed over to Xia Group.

By all accounts, such a task should not trouble Xu Fan; Su Shouzi alone could handle it.

However, considering his master's somewhat complicated relationship with Xia Yanyu, Su Shouzi still took great care to call and ask.

Xu Fan asked carefully and found it was just some trivial matters, and he would just need to give Xia Yanyu a heads up when the time came.

Thinking back to what Xia Yanyu had said while holding him on the eve of the Little New Year, Xu Fan then told Su Shouzi that he would go alone, and his attendance was not needed.

The always astute Su Shouzi naturally wouldn't make a mistake over such a matter, and promptly agreed.
